BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and more particularly to novel pyrimidone compounds and preparation method, pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds as active ingredients, and use thereof in the manufacture of medicaments for the treatment of diseases associated with Lp-PLA₂ enzyme activity.

Description of Related Art

Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A₂ (Lp-PLA₂), also known as platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH), contains 441 amino acids with a relative molecular mass of 45 kD. 70% of Lp-PLA₂ in human plasma binds to low density lipoprotein (LDL) and 30% of Lp-PLA₂ binds to high density lipoprotein (HDL). Lp-PLA₂ can rapidly hydrolyze oxidized phosphatidylcholine into lysophophotidylcholine (lyso-PC) and oxidized non-esterified fatty acids (ox-NEFA), while both lyso-PC and ox-NEFA have a strong proinflammation effect and can initiate inflammation/immune response of a variety of cells including endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, monocytes/macrophages, T cells and neutrophils.

Lp-PLA₂ inhibitors can be generally applicable to any condition involving the hydrolysis of oxidized lipids into the two inflammatory substances in the participation of Lp-PLA₂. This includes atherosclerosis, diabetes, diabetic eye diseases, hypertension, angina, rheumatoid arthritis, stroke, myocardial infarction, post ischemia-and-reperfusion conditions, psoriasis, brain inflammatory diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's disease), various neuropsychiatric disorders (e.g., schizophrenia), ischemia-reperfusion injury, sepsis, acute and chronic inflammatory diseases.

Atherosclerosis is not only related to abnormal levels of blood lipids, but also an inflammation-related disease. It is a new way to treat the disease by inhibiting inflammatory factors of atherosclerosis. Studies have shown that lyso-PC can promote the development of atherosclerotic plaques and eventually form necrotic cores. Experiments on the diabetic hypercholesterolemic pig model have demonstrated that Lp-PLA₂ inhibitors can affect the volume, composition and gene expression of atherosclerotic plaques in diabetic/hypercholesterolemic pig and can effectively inhibit the continued growth of atherosclerotic plaques.

Studies have shown that all neurodegenerative diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and the like, demonstrate neuroinflammation. Lyso-PC, as a proinflammatory factor, can induce the release of a variety of cytotoxic inflammatory cytokines, while Lp-PLA₂ inhibitors can attenuate the inflammatory response by inhibiting the production of lyso-PC.

In addition, the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) showed significant neuroinflammation, and a number of cytotoxic inflammatory cytokines were up-regulated. Experiments on the diabetic/hypercholesterolemic pig model showed that Lp-PLA₂ inhibitors are able to improve function of the blood brain barrier (BBB), reduce permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and reduce precipitation of the beta-like protein in the brain. These research results suggested that Lp-PLA₂ inhibitors may be useful in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Because lyso-PC is involved in leukocyte activation, induces apoptosis and can mediate endothelial dysfunction, and diabetes can cause persistent vascular inflammation and increase the production of reactive oxygen, it is generally believed that Lp-PLA₂ inhibitors can be used in the treatment of diabetes-related tissue damage by inhibiting the production of lyso-PC. Considering that local inflammatory response plays an important role in the development and progression of diabetic retinopathy, it is speculated that Lp-PLA₂ inhibitors can be used in the treatment of diabetic eye disease.

In addition, the destruction of the blood retinal barrier (BRB) is a common pathological feature of diabetic macular edema (DME) patients. Under normal circumstances, BRB can prevent the free flow of plasma components into the retina through active and passive transport, thereby maintaining the self-stability of the receptor cells in the retina. Once BRB is destroyed, it cannot strictly control the water and protein in plasma from entering into the retinal parenchymal layer, leading to significant expansion of retinal extracellular space which exhibits as macular edema in the macular area. Animal experiments on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced SD rat and brown Norwegian rat models showed that Lp-PLA₂ inhibitors are able to reduce BRB permeability and the research results showed that Lp-PLA₂ inhibitors might be useful in the treatment of diabetic macular edema.

Both glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are retinal neurodegenerative diseases. Studies have shown that inflammatory response, including TNF-α signaling pathway, may play an important role in these two diseases. Considering that Lp-PLA₂ inhibitors can block the release of inflammatory cytokines, it is speculated that Lp-PLA₂ inhibitors can be used in the treatment of glaucoma and AMD.

GlaxoSmithKline has developed a class of potent reversible inhibitors of Lp-PLA₂ (WO 99/24420, WO 01/60805, WO 02/30911, WO 03/016287, WO 03/042179, WO 03/042206, WO 08/048867, and etc.), characterized by pyrimidone or pyridone groups contained in the structure. The representative compounds darapladib and rilapladib are currently in clinical research.

GlaxoSmithKline also developed another class of Lp-PLA₂ inhibitors (US 2012/0142717, WO 2012/075917, WO 2012/037782, WO 2013/013503, WO 2013/014185, WO 2014/114248, WO 2014/114249, WO 2014/114694). The structure thereof is also characterized by pyrimidone group, but this class of inhibitors differs from the previous class of reversible inhibitors in that they have a linear structure and their molecular weight is also relatively small.

There is still a need for further research and development of Lp-PLA₂ inhibitors in this field.

PHARMACOLOGY EXAMPLES Example 1 In Vitro Inhibitory Activity Assay

Reagents

1) reaction buffer

0.1M Tris-HCl, 1 mM EGTA, PH 7.2

2) thioester analogs of phosphatidylcholine (2-thio-PAF, Cayman, Lot 60945)

Anhydrous ethanol was used as solvent to make a 25 mg/ml mother liquor. The solution was aliquoted, stored at −80° C. and diluted 900 times before use (about 50 μM of concentration)

3) DTNB (5,5′-dithio-bis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid), Sigma, Lot D8130)

The solution was prepared just before use. Triple distilled water was used to make a concentration of 1.1 mg/ml, and an appropriate amount of 0.1M NaOH was added until DTNB was just dissolved.

4) Compound was dissolved in DMSO to a suitable concentration.

Experiment Principle

Lp-PLA₂ activity was determined by using 2-thio-PAF as substrate. The thiol group produced upon the hydrolysis of 2-thio-PAF can react with DTNB to generate a yellow substance. The optical density at 414 nm can be detected to reflect Lp-PLA₂ activity.

4.4 Grouping and administration

The compounds of examples 11 and 27 and darapladib were administered orally to the two animal groups of administration at a dose of 25 mg/kg/day, and the administration period was 4 weeks.

4.5 Test methods

4.5.1 Establishment of the diabetic rat model

All SD rats were preconditioned for 3-5 days. Except for the normal control group, all the other rats were injected intraperitoneally with STZ. The specific method of model establishment was as follows: fasting rats (fasting for 16 h, free to drink water) were weighed and injected with 50 mg/kg of STZ through tail vein to build the diabetic rat model. STZ was prepared with 10 mM pH 4.6 sodium citrate buffer (freshly prepared on site, placed on ice, kept at low temperature to avoid STZ volatilization). 7 days after injection and after 10 h of fasting, the blood was collected from the rat submandibular vein and the blood glucose was measured.

The diabetic model was established when the blood glucose of the rats was more than 10 mmol/L.

4.5.2 Grouping and administration

Twenty diabetic rats whose blood glucose values were more than 10 mmol/L and close to the average value were selected and grouped by stratified randomization into the following 4 groups according to the blood glucose value: model control group, the compound of example 11, the compound of example 27 and darapladib positive control group and each group had 5 rats. The rats were administrated once a day. Another 5 rats without injection of STZ were used as normal control group.

4.6 Observation indexes

4.6.1 Determination of the Lp-PLA₂ activity

The activity of LP-PLA₂ in serum was measured before administration, at 3 h and 24 h after administration on the first day, at 24 h after administration on the second day, at 2 weeks and at 4 weeks after administration.

4.6.2 Measurement of retinal thickness

The eyeballs of the rats were removed, frozen and sectioned and the thickness of each slice was 8 μm. The slice was stained with conventional hematoxylin/eosin and photographed with a 400-fold optical microscope (Eclipse 80i, Nikon). The thickness of the retina was analyzed using the software Image-Pro plus 6.0. Five points were selected in each photo.

4.7 Statistical analysis

Statistical analysis was performed with the EXCEL 2007 software. All data were expressed as mean±standard error (χ±SEM). The experiment results were evaluated by Student T test.

4.8 Experimental results

4.8.1 Effects of compounds on serum Lp-PLA₂ activity in STZ-induced diabetic rats

It can be seen from FIG. 3 that the in vivo serum Lp-PLA₂ activity of the diabetic rats in the model control group was significantly higher compared with the normal control group. Compared with the model control group, the in vivo serum Lp-PLA₂ activity of the rats in groups of the example 11 compound, the example 27 compound and darapladib were all desreased significantly at 3 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after administration. The experiment results showed that the compounds of example 11 and example 27 administered orally for a long term can continuously and effectively inhibit the activity of serum Lp-PLA₂ in rats.

4.8.2 Effects of compounds on retinal thickness of STZ-induced diabetic rats

As can be seen from FIG. 4, compared with the normal control group, the thickness of the retina of the diabetic rats in model control group were significantly increased. Compared with the model control group, the retinal thickness of the rats in the example 11 compound group, the example 27 compound group and the darapladib group were significantly decreased. STZ-induced diabetic rats are considered to be an effective animal model of diabetic macular edema, wherein long-term hyperglycemia leads to dysfunction of the blood retinal barrier and increased barrier permeability, which in turn leads to the consequence that entrance of the fluid and protein from the peripheral blood into the retina cannot be strictly controlled, and once the fluid and protein of the peripheral blood accumulate in the retinal parenchyma, it will lead to edema of the retina, which is pathologically manifested as the increase of the retinal thickness. Thus, the experimental data showed that the compound of example 11 and the compound of example 27 have a promising prospect to be used for the treatment of diabetic macular edema.

5.6 Test methods

5.6.1 Animal Screening

Thirty male ZDF rats (56-62 days old) were fed with Purina #5008 feed (purchased from Nongbiao Purina Feed Co., Ltd.) and the other 6 ZL rats were fed with normal diet as normal control. After fed for 2 weeks, the empty body weights of the fasting rats (fasting for 10 h, free to drink water) were weighed. 0.3 mL blood was collected through tail vein and placed in EDTA anticoagulant tube for the determination of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc). Another 0.5 mL blood was collected and centrifugated at 3000 rpm for 10 min to separate serum which then was determined by automatic biochemical analyzer Model 7020. The serum was separated and then blood glucose and blood lipid (GLU, TC, TG) and hepatorenal function (ALT, AST, ALP, BUN, CREA) were determined. The ZDF rats with blood glucose far from the mean value or having other abnormal indexes were removed and 18 ZDF rats with GLU close to the mean value were selected.

5.6.2 Grouping and administration

Using the blood glucose value as the main indicator and also taking into account the glycosylated hemoglobin, insulin and other indicators, the 18 selected ZDF rats were evenly grouped by stratified randomization to the following groups: model control group, example 11 compound group, positive control group, 6 rats in each group. Rats in each group were given the corresponding drug or solvent by gavage through oral once a day in the morning for 6 continuous weeks. Another 6 ZL rats were taken as normal control group. During the period of administration, the model control group, the example 11 compound group and the positive control group were fed with Purina #5008 feed, and the normal control group was fed with normal feed.

5.6.3 Biochemical testing

Every 2 weeks the rats were fasted but allowed free drinking for 10 h, the empty body weight was weighed and 0.5 mL blood was collected through the tail vein to determine the blood glucose levels. The levels of insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin and triglyceride were measured at the 4th week of administration and at the end of the administration. The levels of low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein were measured at the 6th week of administration.
